President Buhari Condemns Attack On Humanitarian Workers In Borno State

President Muhammadu Buhari says the attack on humanitarian workers in Rann, Borno State, more than ever shows Boko Haram insurgents as godless, brutish, and utterly to be despised.

In a statement issued by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, Buhari said:

"As I have always maintained, no true religion advocates hurting the innocent. To now further attack and kill those offering humanitarian aid is the height of bestiality. It is odious before both God and man," the President said, while sympathizing with the United Nations and other humanitarian agencies working at Rann, and in the country generally.


President Buhari affirms that such cowardly attacks can only bolster the determination of government to bring the Boko Haram insurgency to a decisive end, in the shortest possible time.
